A Really Good Yarn: Laine

Meet The Weekender Crew from Andrea Mowry (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

The Weekender Crew is born of the wonderful requests I receive from amazing knitters to my inbox! Topping the list has always been an alternate neckline for those who aren’t comfortable in a boat neck, followed closely by a DK weight option, and something made in a warm-weather friendly yarn! But I didn’t stop there, I also decided to bring the drop shoulder down the sleeves for an extra polished finish, and of course - pockets! I hope this new Weekender Crew fills another gap in your wardrobe!

This sweater is worked from the bottom up, seamlessly, except for a small seam at the underarms. Starting with a split hem, the body is joined in the round and worked that way until the divide for the sleeves. The remainder is worked flat, and the shoulders are finished with an exposed seam created using the 3 needle bind off.

I worked out yardages for different DK weight yarns. This is the number of skeins that you need for each size. I worked these out to one decimal place so you can decide how many skeins you want to purchase.
